Asia Cup Final: India face Sri Lanka amid reports of inclement weather; what happens if the match is washed out?
Colombo have been consistent with cloudy and rainy skies throughout the 'Super 4' stage of the Asia Cup. This trend is thought to continue for the final showdown between India and Sri Lanka, scheduled for Sunday at the R. Premadasa Stadium.
According to the latest weather updates, there is a possibility of thunderstorms with scattered showers expected during Sunday afternoon and evening. However, similar to the situation during the game between India and Pakistan in the 'Super 4' stage, the final has a reserve day in case rain disrupts the proceedings on Sunday.
